Chapter 40: Embarking on a Dangerous Path
"The poison of the corpse Gu is a kind of Gu secretly made by the black descending gate in Yunnan, it is said to be the poison of the corpse Gu, in fact, it is just the poison of a Gu worm, the head descending master puts a hundred poisonous insects in the Gu device, and lets them kill and bite each other, the only thing that survives after the most is the most poisonous thing, and then put it in the corpse that has just died, the Gu worm sleeps in the corpse, and as the years grow, it continues to absorb the corpse gas, and its body contains corpse poison. If you are bitten by this kind of insect, you will be poisoned by the corpse Gu. Zhang Zefang explained eloquently, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right, and asked, "How do you know the poison of the corpse Gu of the Dao Dao?" ”
"I went to Yihong Courtyard to find Aunt Seven before, and I happened to meet Amei who died violently, and some people said that she was poisoned." Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly lied, and he began to regret that he didn't have a long brain.
Zhang Zefang looked at Wu Zhiyuan with a suspicious gaze, his reason was full of loopholes, even if he heard what others said, how did others know about it? This kind of strange poison is extremely rare, few people know about it, and those who know the Tao are by no means ordinary people, either the perpetrator or the victim.
Zhang Zefang grabbed Wu Zhiyuan's wrist violently, pinched his fingers lightly, and let go after a while.
"Okay, go home quickly, run out by yourself, your parents must be in a hurry." Zhang Zefang said solemnly.
"Well, Master, where will I find you in the future?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled by Zhang Zefang's action of pinching his wrist just now, but he couldn't say anything to ask.
"You don't have to look for me, I will go to Wujia Village to find you when I have time, you take good care of your parents at home, and don't run around anymore." Also, don't worry about learning Maoshan spells in the future, our Maoshan faction is the inheritance of the Zhengyi Shangqing faction, but there are precepts for monkhood, if you have a fate, I will introduce a Taoist leader of the Qixia faction to you. Zhang Zefang patted Wu Zhiyuan's shoulder, which was very much like a master and apprentice, more like a brother.
Everyone has preconceived problems, and Wu Zhiyuan is the same, in his heart, the spells of the Maoshan sect are always beyond the reach of the martial arts of other sects, of course, including the Guiyuan Dao method that he has secretly practiced. Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan hesitated to tell Zhang Zefang about the scriptures and the treasure mirror, but this thought was only a flash, because these two things involved too much, and the treasure mirror was not in his hands now, and out of selfishness, Wu Zhiyuan wanted to continue to practice the Guiyuan Dao method.
"You can take this piece of ocean, and you can buy something to eat on the way." Zhang Zefang took out a piece of ocean from his arms and stuffed it into Wu Zhiyuan's hand, Wu Zhiyuan knew that this was a symbolic fee he received from Sheng Jinyuan.
"Master, I don't want this, you can keep it for self-defense." Wu Zhiyuan stuffed the money into Zhang Zefang's hands, and he didn't want to live or die. There are many reasons, the most important of which is that he still has more than 200 oceans on his body. Because he was afraid that Zhang Zefang would ask about the origin, Wu Zhiyuan did not take it out and give it to him.
"The disciples of Maoshan don't leave overnight money, in fact, I take it, except for room and board, the rest is done good deeds." Zhang Zefang shook his head with a wry smile, and had no choice but to put the money in his pocket.
Zhang Zefang bought more than a dozen steamed buns in the bun shop, and after wrapping them, he pulled Wu Zhiyuan and walked straight to the northern suburbs of the city.
"Follow this path all the way north to Wujia Village. Along the way, there is no village or store, you take these buns. Zhang Zefang stuffed the bun into Wu Zhiyuan's hand.
Wu Zhiyuan's heart was suddenly moved, his nose was sore, and his eyes were moist, at this moment he wanted to tell Zhang Zefang the truth, but when he thought of the particularity of the corpse Gu poison, he didn't want to bother him anymore.
The details are the most impressive, Zhang Zefang gave Wu Zhiyuan the only piece of ocean on his body before, and now he is eagerly urging him to go home, and he also bought dry food on the road, although these details are insignificant, but Wu Zhiyuan was deeply moved, except for his parents, no one has taken care of him so meticulously.
He didn't want to take the buns, but thinking of Zhang Zefang's friendship fist, he had to accept it, if he didn't accept it, I was afraid it would arouse Zhang Zefang's suspicions.
Wu Zhiyuan walked on the path step by step, the feeling in his heart was very complicated, he didn't expect that he had learned to lie less than half a month after running away from home, and the object of lying was still the person he respected the most.
After walking for more than a mile, Wu Zhiyuan looked back at the way he came and found that Zhang Zefang had already left, so he returned the same way and headed to the east.
After being delayed in the Sheng family for almost a day, he now had to speed up his pace in order to reach Qifeng Mountain as scheduled.
Thinking about this, Wu Zhiyuan ran up with his legs, and ran out of six or seven miles in one breath before stopping, he couldn't help but feel strange, he was usually tired and panting after running a few hundred meters, but now he ran six or seven miles and was actually happy and smooth, without any sense of exhaustion.
After pondering for a while, Wu Zhiyuan understood the secret, the reason why this is the case must be because of the practice of the Guiyuan Dao Method, the Guiyuan Dao Law focuses on refining the qi, although he has only cultivated the first layer now, and has not yet learned to turn the essence into his own use, but now the vitality of the dantian in the body is greatly different from the past.
In the evening, Wu Zhiyuan found a land temple, although the temple wall is short and the space inside is narrow, but it is better than sleeping in the open. After eating a few steamed buns, he couldn't wait to take out the Guiyuan True Scripture, took out the blood knife, and continued to study it with the red light of the blood knife.
This Taoist scripture book is really weird, and it has to be illuminated by the red light of the blood knife to show the handwriting, Wu Zhiyuan is also puzzled about this point, but this is not important to him, so he did not dig into the bottom of the matter, and the most important thing is to learn the Taoism inside.
The first layer of the Guiyuan Dao method is just an introduction to the luck method to dredge the meridians and suck for the back. Refined gas as the foundation. From the second layer, the method of turning the essence of the outside world into one's own use is described, and it goes deeper and deeper until the sixth layer. When a cultivator reaches the sixth level of realm, he will basically be able to use the method of absorbing the essence of the outside world and transforming it into his own vitality, but in order to store the essence in his own dantian qi sea, he must continue to practice above the seventh layer.
Taoist spells are generally divided into nine layers, and each level will encounter a bottleneck, if the cultivator's comprehension is higher and the root bones are excellent, then the Dao method of the first few layers is as natural as eating and sleeping, and it is not felt at all, and only after reaching the high level will it gradually become stronger, and even cannot be surpassed in his life.
Wu Zhiyuan has a good understanding, and his roots are higher than ordinary people, so Zhang Zefang will think that he is a monk genius.
After cultivating to the third layer in one go, Wu Zhiyuan didn't encounter the slightest obstacle, with the foundation of the first layer, the last two layers were simply at hand, and the qi meridians were even more free. While the vitality was wandering in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, Wu Zhiyuan only felt that there seemed to be a little bit of crystal light around him constantly melting into his skin, entering the meridians, and as the vitality continued to flow, it finally returned to the dantian, and then the sea of dantian qi was churning, and it instantly returned to calm.
Starting from the cultivation of the second layer of the Guiyuan Dao Method, the order and direction of the vitality between the meridians in the human body can form a special magnetic field, which absorbs the essence of external beings into its own meridians, and enters the dantian with the vitality at the end. This is also a more scientific explanation of the Dao of Return. The methods of the second to sixth layers can gradually enhance the ability to transform the essence qi of the outside world for their own use, but they cannot store the essence qi as the essence element, so the absorbed essence qi is instantly transformed into vitality in the dantian.
Seeing that the moon was already in the west, it was estimated that it was the fourth watch, so Wu Zhiyuan leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Wu Zhiyuan woke up early the next morning, slept late last night, and now he felt energetic, without a trace of sleepiness, and when he thought about it, he knew that it was because he had practiced the Guiyuan Dao Method.
This time, Wu Zhiyuan was mentally prepared, and planned to let go of his hands and feet and run with all his strength to test the difference between the third layer of the realm of the Guiyuan Dao Method and the first layer, with this idea, he took a deep breath and ran wildly.
The wind was blowing in his ears, and the trees around him swept by, Wu Zhiyuan felt a sense of speed that he had never felt before, and he was both surprised and happy in his heart, surprised that this speed had far exceeded his expectations, and he was happy that the third layer realm was actually running so fast, and after cultivating the ninth layer, he was afraid that he would really ride the clouds.
